Best ethical way: earn your status
I called IHG three times over the past 3 weeks to find out about upgrading my status from Platinum Ambassador to RA. As of July, I have 156 nights in IHG properties this year (yes, I live in hotels), but none are at IC locations. Mostly HI and HIX. This is what they told me qualifies someone for RA status:
- 60-80 nights at IC locations ONLY!! No other IHG hotels!
- 3+ different IC hotels
Your other IHG nights don't matter at all. This is why I'm dropping IHG and moving to Hilton/Marriott properties.
